My Sweetheart

Chapter 165 Would You Take Me Upstairs

Nighttime had settled, life in this vibrant city had just begun.

Kathy hastily walked into the clubhouse, she found out which private room Alexia was in by asking one of the workers there.

The smell of alcohol and tobacco blown in her face the moment she opened the door. She slightly coughed and proceeded to sit next to Alexia. The other person in the private room was the executive of LS Group, he was a middle-aged man, probably somewhere around 40 years old.

"Kathy is a colleague of mine working at the sales department, Mr. Lowe, here is the contract," Alexia passed him the document.

Alexia obviously had some drinks as she was looking flushed, Kathy was a bit worried about her.

Kathy stopped Alexia as she was going to down another glass of alcohol, "I'll drink it for you."

Alexia snatched the glass over and said, "Don't be silly, you get drunk over a glass. I don't want to have to carry you home."

Kathy frowned, she watched Alexia as she gulped the drinks. She knew that Alexia can hold her liquor, but drinking this much was a bit dangerous.

"I'll be needing a bit more time to look over the contract, Miss Alexia, how about we go for a second round?" The man squinted his eyes, he told his assistant to leave first and he walked towards Alexia.

Alexia was smiling brightly, "Then, how about the lounge?"

The man grimaced, "Let's go to the hotel I'm staying at, there's no crowd and we could talk comfortably."

He looked at Kathy after he said that, his smile was disgusting, "Miss Kathy, do come with us."

"Kathy is busy, Mr. Lowe, I'll go with you," Alexia winked at Kathy, telling her to head back first.

But Kathy couldn't bring herself to leave, this man was obviously scheming something, Alexia would be in trouble if Kathy were to leave.

Alexia's face turned sour, she worriedly glanced at Kathy who was following her. The man suddenly yanked Alexia to her side as they were about to walk out of the clubhouse, "Miss Kathy can come along if she wants to."

"Mr. Lowe, let's not waste her time, she is not a part of this project anyways."

"Let's see what Miss Kathy says," The man looked straight into Kathy's eyes.

Kathy felt uncomfortable, she wanted to leave so badly but she needed Alexia to leave with her as well.

She knew that the project was very important to Alexia, but no matter what, there was a limit to how much she should be doing to please the client.

"I'm free tonight," replied Kathy.

Alexia was about to stomp on Kathy's feet, but Kathy was persistent, she wouldn't leave Alexia alone at all cost.

The hotel is located right on the opposite side of the road. Alexia was explaining details about the project along the way but the man was obviously interested in something else. Alexia suggested that they should go to the restaurant at the first floor when they got to the lobby, but Mr. Lowe shook his head, "Let's go to my room, it's nice and quiet."

"If that's the case, Kathy, you should head back first," Alexia suggested again.

Kathy's face darkened, she pulled Alexia closer and said, "Mr. Lowe, let's just talk here!"

Mr. Lowe smiled, his gaze on Kathy, "It's too crowded here, you guys should come up with me if you want the contract to be signed by tonight."

"Mr. Lowe, I'll come with you alone," Alexia stood in front of Kathy as she said that.

The man accepted the offer, Alexia quickly went into the elevator with him. Kathy wanted to go into the elevator as well but she was blocked by Alexia.

"Don't worry," whispered Alexia.

How could Kathy not worry? She observed which floor the elevator stopped on and got on the other elevator.

A familiar figure walked in as the elevator's door was about to close.

"Mr. Johnson," it was her boss, Kathy greeted him politely.

Johnson glanced at the button Kathy pressed and immediately understood what was she trying to do.

"You can head back first," said Johnson.

"Are you going to look for Alexia?" Kathy asked.

"She's always doing something dangerous, I'm not going to rescue her if it happens again," Johnson looked angry but the tone of his voice was loving.

The elevator stopped on the 29th floor.

Johnson hurriedly walked out the elevator as Kathy stared at his back, she thought about what was going to happen and worriedly walked after him.

Johnson already had the keycard with him, Alexia stumbled and ran out as soon as he opened the door, her skirt was all torn up.

"Get away from me!" yelled Alexia furiously.

She wanted to hug Johnson the moment she saw him, but she walked towards Kathy instead.

Johnson's face darkened, he looked at Mr. Lowe displeasedly, his voice was frigid, "From today onwards, the NCHV Medical Company will not sign any contracts with the LS Group anymore."

"Mr. Johnson, there's no need to destroy our business partnership just because of a woman," the man was flustered.

Johnson was emotionless, "She is my woman."

Alexia was shocked upon hearing that, she raised her head and looked at the man with a slender figure. What he said repeated endlessly in her mind.

"She is my woman."

She waited so long to hear this, she did so much just to hear this.

Tears were gushing down her eyes.

Kathy was frowning while helping Alexia drying her tears, "You good-for-nothing!"

Alexia would get herself in big trouble tonight if it wasn't for Johnson.

"Yes, I'm useless like that. Kathy, you don't understand, I'll do anything for him," Alexia muttered.

She saw from the side from her eyes that Johnson was walking towards her, Alexia quickly rubbed her eyes, she was all calmed and proper when she raised her head up.

Johnson stared at her exposed thighs, her skirt was torn apart but she wasn't flashing, though it was still exposing some parts of her body.

His cold gaze flashed across her, he made a call and told the manager to get him a room card.

He princess-carried Alexia, his voice deep and velvety," You really know how to push my limits."

Alexia hung her head low but she was smiling, "What did I do? You were the one that told me to get this contract no matter what, I'm just your subordinate, I had to do what you said."

Johnson's chest heaved as he was furious, "No matter what, you should've protected yourself."

"You didn't tell me to do that, also, you didn't care about me before," Alexia was sulking. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Johnson squinted his eyes coldly, he then pressed Alexia against the wall…

Kathy mindfully left them alone, she was shocked by Alexia's guts.

A man and a woman came in through the entrance of the hotel as Kathy walked out of the elevator. Again, she mindfully stepped away, she stood behind a huge marble pillar.

She suddenly realized that the two standing a few meters away from her were Edith and Joseph. Edith's shoulder was shaking, she was crying in Joseph's embrace.

Joseph gave her a tissue and took a step backwards, trying to maintain his distance with her.

But Edith grasped on his arm tightly, "Joseph, I'm scared… Why is he here? Will he be bothering me again?"

Joseph frowned, he said in a deep voice, "I'll get rid of him if you don't want to see him again, he won't be able to step into City N."

"Really?" Edith's eyes were hopeful.

Joseph nodded, "Head back now, I dispatched some bodyguards to protect you, he won't dare to come near you."

"But, I'm still scared, Joseph, would you accompany me upstairs?"

Edith's tears rolled down her cheek, she was trembling and she slowly inched towards Joseph. She then hugged him tightly.
